There are many ways. For example they may claim stealing is subjective like for example its OK for someone to steal if they are hungry and have no option. But as soon as that hungry person steals from them they object.Just how do "people act like morals are objective"?
Primarily morality matters more than peoples subjective feelings, preferences and opinions. So when they protest, and condemn that a wrong is done they are actually expressing more than subjective views but a truth statement out into the world. When people disagree over morality it means there is a right and wrong to the matter and we act like morals need to be either right or wrong. This is different to peoples subjective preferences.
We see this right through society where people on social media are condemning, shaming, exposing bad behaviour, marching through streets and fighting. Even tearing down people for their beliefs and rhetoric. This behaviour is consistent with their being truth to what is right and wrong and inconsistent with morality being like preferences and opinions. People dont want to tear each other down for not liking the same icecream flavour.
